HONOR & PRESERVATION
New York City Fire Museum presents FDNY's cultural heritage and fire service
S
ituated on Spring Street in the SoHo district, New York
City Fire Museum welcomes over 40,000 visitors per year.
This renovated 1904 firehouse is a cultural destination that
carries a variety of firefighting artifacts, dating back to the 18th
century - the exterior is even an architectural attraction all on
its own.
The building, once infused with sounds of emergency responses,
is now a destination with a mission " ...to collect, preserve and
present the history and cultural heritage of the fire service of New
York and to provide fire prevention and safety education to the
public, especially children. "
Museum Experience
" All the exhibits at the museum illustrate the evolution of
firefighting from the bucket brigades of Peter Stuyvesant's New
Amsterdam through the colorful history of volunteer firefighters to
modern firefighting techniques and equipment, " Noemi Bourdier,
assistant director for New York City Fire Museum explained.
The museum even offers a Fire Safety Learning Center, which
is an interactive experience complete with a mock apartment,
designed to educate visitors about burn and fire hazards, how to
prevent a fire at home and provides safety tips.

9/11 Memorial Room
" The Museum houses a special memorial to the 343 members
of the FDNY (New York City Fire Department) who made the
supreme sacrifice on 9/11, and features a number of firefighting
artifacts recovered from the World Trade Center site, " she said.
Every year, the New York City Fire Museum conducts a special
wreath laying ceremony in its memorial room to honor the victims
and heroes of 9/11. " The FDNY Color Guard along with FDNY
officials come in to present the wreath followed by singing of the
national anthem and a message from our director. The Museum
is also open free of charge to all visitors on 9/11, " Bourdier shared.
The Gift Shop
The museum's gift shop shares the space with the entrance and
lobby area, so visitors will have a peek at retail offerings as soon as
they walk in. The store's register is even located under the building's
original staircase and a creative display of helmets from the FDNY
and from around the world are visible for all to see and enjoy.
The store also shares space with the Housewatch Desk, " a replica
of what firehouses used to have and served as the dispatcher
to fires, " Bourdier detailed. The former Houswatch Desk in the
museum now serves as the information desk.
